Chapter 480: Chapter 496: It Turns Out It Was Him (1)

Percy Stanton finally shifted his gaze from Isabel Smith’s face and then looked at Terrence Wood’s wife, saying aloud: "Mrs. Wood, may I have a word with you outside?"

Seeing that a large group of familiar faces followed Percy Stanton, who looked like people she had seen on TV news and knew that many powerful people lived in Bellshire, Terrence Wood’s wife nodded.

Percy Stanton gave Isabel Smith one more glance, then walked out with Terrence Wood’s wife and the entourage behind him.

Isabel Smith stood in the police station, and through the window, she could see Percy Stanton and the others walking to an RV before the car door closed, and then she couldn’t see anything.

About twenty minutes later, the group came out of the RV. Terrence Wood’s wife respectfully smiled at Percy Stanton’s group, then walked back to the police station wearing high heels, and said to the police inside: "I’m sorry, we’ve chosen to resolve this assault incident privately. Thank you for your help."

Terrence Wood’s wife was extremely polite, not the slightest hint of the difficulty she had displayed before, even taking out some cash vouchers from her bag and placing them on the police officer’s table, saying, "You’ve been really helpful."

The police officers were completely baffled by Terrence Wood’s wife’s sudden change of attitude, looking at each other in bewilderment, and finally just remaining silent, not saying a word.

At the doorstep, Terrence Wood’s wife bent her lips into a smile toward Isabel Smith, saying: "Miss Smith, the previous incident was all a misunderstanding. I made a mistake. I apologize to you. And as for this incident, we deserved it. I slapped Miss Smith, and Miss Smith’s younger brother beat my husband, which is quite reasonable."

Isabel Smith’s face was pale as she looked at Terrence Wood’s wife, who was making a complete turnaround. Isabel Smith frowned but said nothing.

Terrence Wood’s wife was unaffected by Isabel Smith’s cold demeanor and said cheerfully, "Goodbye, Miss Smith."

...

Since the people involved didn’t pursue the incident, the police naturally did not ask further questions.

Isabel Smith and Elijah Smith walked out of the police station. Before they reached Percy Stanton, Ella Adams and the others, Elijah Smith suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Isabel Smith.

Isabel Smith’s initial anger at Elijah Smith had vanished when she found out that the person he had beaten was Terrence Wood. Now when she saw Elijah Smith suddenly stop, she also halted and turned to look at him.

Elijah Smith stared into Isabel Smith’s eyes for a while, feeling a wave of indescribable bitterness welling up in his heart. He felt something blocking his chest, making it hard for him to breathe. He moved his lips, wanting to call her "older sister," but couldn’t. Instead, his eyes began to feel hot. In the end, he simply raised his hand, pulled Isabel Smith into his arms, and rested his head on her shoulder. As he closed his eyes, clear moisture seeped out of the corners.

Isabel Smith was a bit shocked by Elijah Smith’s sudden embrace. After a while, she raised her hand to push him away, but the next second she heard Elijah Smith’s voice in her ear, trembling and choked with emotion: "Sis... "

Isabel Smith’s fingers that she was raising up froze in midair, and the corners of her eyes suddenly became moist. It took her a long time to say anything, and finally, she slowly hugged Elijah Smith’s waist.

Elijah Smith rubbed his head against Isabel Smith’s shoulder and then hugged her tightly without saying another word.

However, in his heart, thousands of words were already spoken to Isabel Smith.

-- I’m sorry, older sister. Please forgive my wilfulness for thinking that you left me in Bellshire and went to the United States alone because you no longer loved me.
